What did some of our team members have to say about their favourite songs from Chefsache 2025?
Angus (Knightclub): Welcome to the Knightclub! This is pure fun, making you want to raise a tankard with your companions, down it in one go, and party hard. The chorus is so powerful, catchy, and just ready to be chanted along to by thousands of people seeing Feuerschwanz live on a stage.
Daniel (Baller): Okay, this fucks, and I need it at Eurovision. Some members may disagree, but I actually really like the first person camera angles that get used throughout the SF performance, it’s really fun and unique – just like the song itself, which has been going on and on in my head. It’s about time Germany sent something in German, and this would be perfect.
Shiloh (Empress): This entry doesn’t necessarily pack a punch, but sometimes subtlety can be the thing to go for. And in this case, it just might be. Julika’s voice is smooth and polished and someone clearly put significant thought into the staging, which wouldn’t look out of place at Eurovision as it is.
Germany’s Eurovision Journey
Germany has been part of Eurovision since the beginning, debuting in 1956. Their debut entries were Walter Andreas Schwarz’s “Im Wartesaal zum großen Glück” and Freddy Quinn’s “So geht das jede Nacht”. Germany has appeared at every Eurovision except for 1996, which means they have been at more Contests than any other country. They have a long history of success in Eurovision, finishing in the top 3 an impressive 13 times. Germany has won the contest twice: Nicole won in 1982 with her song “Ein bißchen Frieden”, taking home 161 points. Their second win came in 2010, when Lena scored 246 points with her song “Satellite”.
Germany’s most recent Eurovision entry was Isaak with “Always on the Run”. As Germany is part of the Big 5, they automatically qualified for the Grand Final. In the Final, the song received 117 points and finished in 12th place – the first time the country has finished on the left hand side of the scoreboard since 2018.
